What do we think of the baby names? I was immediately like Oh, Luke for Luke Skywalker. But does Penny ring a bell for anybody, significance-wise?

OK—how quickly did Ted and the Mother turn out these babies? We're now in 2014, but in the show the wedding weekend during which Ted and the Mother meet takes place in 2013 (May 25, to be exact). Penny, cradled in Ted's arms in last night's ep in the year 2017, looked to be about one and a half. That takes us roughly back to 2015, which means the star-crossed couple must've been all married up by then. But Ted also referenced in his proposal that they were two years out from Barney and Robin's wedding...so what I'm trying to say here, guys, is that they got married fast, and Penny came along fast. And then Luke. Ted Mosby has a family!

Does anyone actually say "I love you, Petname" to their partner before they start fighting? 'Cause I was impressed, Marshall and Lily, but I did not relate.

How do you think this Marshall-Lily thing is gonna shake out—and, follow-up, is that Ranjit in the car? I'm pretty certain of the latter—as for the former, I have no idea. I was expecting Lily to bend a bit more, and I definitely wasn't expecting San Francisco to come up, all these years later. Since Marshall's plight has general TV convention on its side (don't we all, in our hearts, want to say goodbye to the gang knowing they're together), I'm inclined to think he'll win this one. But I can't figure out at all how we'll get there.

Did anyone else react to Barney's eventual ring bearer confession like this? "Um, sweet, but it would be really weird if the night before the wedding the husband was like 'BTW, we have a ring bearer. I work with his mom. Just be cool.' Also, I still think there's gonna be a bear."

This last one's just a statement: the revisitation of hippie Barney and unraveling of his evil boss was my favorite payoff yet this season. There's a lot of mushy stuff we know we're going to see and we embrace wholeheartedly now that HIMYM is winding down, but I love nothing more than a totally unexpected, delightfully wacky, ultra-satisfying resolution. Now, the only question is: What will Barns do next?
